What does ABC stand for?

For instance, ATP-binding cassette transporters encoded by genes known as ABCB1 and ABCC1 are involved in eliminating carcinogens from the lungs, protecting them against inhaled toxins.

Encoded by ABCB1 gene, it is a member of the ATP-binding cassette family of transmembrane transporters.

Rad50, a structural maintenance of chromosome (SMC) related protein, employs its ATP-binding cassette (ABC) ATPase, Zn hook, and coiled coils to bridge DSBs and facilitate DNA end processing by Mre11.

In the current study, the researchers identified a previously unknown ATP-binding cassette transporter (ABC-transporter)-which is identified by the gene number BAS2714-12-that was shown to be essential to transporting bicarbonate.

In this minireview, we provide an illustration of recent progress and future challenges in computer modeling by discussing computational studies of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters.

MLST was performed by using the following seven housekeeping genes (protein products are shown in parentheses): abcZ (putative ATP-binding cassette transporter), adk (adenylate kinase), aroE (shikimate dehydrogenase), fumC (fumarate hydratase) gdh (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase), pdhC (pyruvate dehydrogenase subunit), and pgm (phosphoglucomutase) as previously described (6).

Other significant protein functions that can be studied with the new TaqMan arrays include: ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, which are proteins that help ferry chemicals across the cell membrane.
